Pivot Chart - 3 date columns, how to show counts of the dates by month?


My goal is to have a count of three different dates by month in a bar chart. Currently we are using a count if formula then building the chart above that, would like a cleaner solution. I have three columns, Open, Action, and closed dates. Adding all three to the axis doesn't produce the right results. I'm stuck. Is there something in the pivot that I can change? I'm pulling the data in via Power Query, is there something there I can change? Many thanks :-) Ideal state

Recent Action and Closed dates are not show up, that seems to be the real issue. Why and how to fix it?

Solution

  • Created a date table in Power Query. Also in Power query, duped my data then deleted all but the columns I didn't need. Unpivoted the three date columns. Joined the new date to the date table. Graphs fine.
